Canal Bourgogne 

SELF DRIVE RIVER BOAT RENTALS FROM Migennes


 

This small town, in which it is possible to see a restored fragment of a Gallo-Roman mosaic of the 5th century in the tourist office, located in the former cabaret l'Escale, is the starting point for one-way river cruises on the Nivernais Canal to Tannay.

The locks are automatic or electric and most are manned by lock keepers, except on the Canal du Nivernais and the Canal du Centre where some are manual. The locks are closed the 1st of May, the 14th of July and the 1rst of November.

During the season locks are open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and are closed for lunch between 12:00-13:00 (1:00 p.m.).

The Roanne to Digoin canal is closed from mid-April to the end of June 2025 due to a leak on the canal.

On the Canal du Nivernais, there is a ladder of 16 consecutive locks:  l'échelle de Sardy.

Between Saint Jean de Losne and Mâcon, you must only stop at designated moorings, elsewhere you can moor anywhere along the banks in the heart of the countryside.
